I did not know Shirley well. But she reached out to me when she heard that I had chronic health issues. We texted about once a month or so for a year. She was always a positive presence. I was touched by her kindness, even though we had never met in person. Most people would not have taken the extra time and energy to do that, especially during the midst of her own health issues. I am grateful for the connection that we had.

so sorry to hear about Shirley's passing. When I worked with her at Lane Powell back in the late 80's she was one of the happiest and most positive people I had ever met - and most fun.

I had the pleasure of Shirley's company after she returned to Lane Powell. We sat side by side outside the coffee/photocopy room before she relocated to be by Libbi. She spoke of her human and pet family with great love and always had positive energy. Very sad that cancer took her from you.

Shirley was a beacon of light and a strong supporter of family and friends. She had an electric personality and a stunning sense of humor that made everyone smile when she spoke.
